I think you should call Welsch, mentioned above I got a new old stock leather wheel for $200. Bargain price.

Another option I've used in the past on other vehicles, and in fact bought one for my Xk8, is a Wheelskins Leather Wrap. Won't be nearly as precise as a stock rebuild, but at 1/8 of the price, might give you an option. Available all over the net.

Steven300 & Jacobmstein,

Gentlemen, Thank you so much for your opinion's concerning my Steering Wheel idea! The problem with these opinions are:

1. I don't want another stock leather wheel...
2. I've already looked and $500.00 seems to be about the going price to "re-furb" a Steering Wheel....

I feel that my design idea is what I would like "MY" Wheel to look like and I also feel that this something the Jaguar Designers may not have giving enough thought to...As I have noticed, most of the new "Sports Cars" out there have the 12:00 o'clock Stripe....Look at the new Corvette as an example....
